Ocellate River Stingray Aquarium Care Guide

Keeping Ocellate River Stingray in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

• Care level: advanced
• Temperament: semi-aggressive
• Diet: carnivore
• Minimum tank size: 300 gallons (1135 liters) for a single adult, larger for multiple or breeding pairs
• Compatibility: Best kept in a species-specific tank or with large, peaceful, top-dwelling fish that cannot be preyed upon. Avoid aggressive or fin-nipping species. Tank mates must tolerate similar water parameters.
• Special requirements: Requires a large tank with a soft sand substrate to prevent injury to their disc and allow for natural burrowing behavior. Excellent filtration is crucial due to their high bioload. A secure lid is necessary as they can jump. Provide ample open swimming space and some flat rocks or driftwood for shelter. Water quality must be pristine with regular large water changes.
